Dorothy E. Rice

As you pause here to read this obituary, know assuredly that I am, on this glorious day of Saturday, October 13, 2012, now in the presence of my Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ. I leave behind my dear hubby, Donald, my beloved son Kevin (so proud of you!) and my precious daughter-in-law, Janis; as well as two sisters, Tina Murray and Lonnie Darienzo and a brother Mike Murray. Truly, the best bunch of fun-loving; generous and funny sibs and bros ever! For those family members that have gone on before, I’m so excited and look forward to meeting up with them on the golden streets of heaven. In Christ has my life been full; and now begin my new life with Christ for all eternity. All my efforts and successes have only happened as the Lord gave strength and blessings. Thank you Broome-Tioga BOCES for giving me an avenue to be productive and creative in my career. Thanks to my Deaf friends for allowing me to enter your world and for your patience and gentle, fun-making as I tried to learn about your culture and your language. Truly, a marvelous people. To all my cycling friends, all I can say is WOW, it’s been quite a ride. But am now entering the greatest ride of my life. God bless you all.
